OIL-BURNER.

No. sso,1es.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 25, 1903.

Application filed November 7. 1905. Burial No. 286.213.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI Cuantas J. Cannon, citizen of the United tates, residing at Porter Corners, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Oil-Burners of which the fo lowing is a specification.

'ihis invention relates to im rovements in burners adapted to burn cru e or refined hydro-carbon oils and gasolene.

The especial ob'ect of my im rovements which form the su ject matter of) this application, is to provide a burner of simple and economical mechanical construction which can be readily removed for cleaning purposes, and which affords a relatively larger combustion chamber and heating area.

In the accompany' drawing which orms a part of this app icationz-Fi ure 1 is a vertical section taken longitu inally through a burner constructed according to my invention but with certain features exaggerated. Fig. 2 is a to plan view of the device shown in Fig. l. ig. 3 shows in section and elevation one application of my improved burner.

Referring to the details of .the drawing A represents an oblong rectangular cast metal box formed with a ledge al on its inner walls.

B represents a cast metal grid which fits within the box A and rests on the ledge a. This grid is perforated verticall with a pluralit of elongated holes b which in practice, will e smaller in diameter and closer together than as shown in the drawing. This grid forms the burner or combustion surface, and as its lower face is above the bottom of the box a chamber C is left in the latter into which the oil flows throu h ipe D from an suitable source as pipe 5*, and tank The pipe d is preferably supplied with a valve d which controls the flow of oil from the tank E. Connected with thc pipe d* is an air supply pi e d in which a valve d is located to contro the suppl of air.

Preferabl the pipe D 1s )ent to form one or more -coilys which surround the box, thus subjecting the fluid to the heat of thc burncr before it passes into the chamber C.

The sizes and roportions of grid, chamber and pli-pe D will e governed by the work to be pe ormed, the nature and quality of thc fluid used for fuel. It is however important that the openings b should be long and small as there are conditions which affect thc effectiveness of my burner. After the bumer becomes heated, the space C becomes a true combustion chamber where the gases are ig'nited and the resultin flames escape in a mu in b.

aving thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device for burning oil, the combination of a rectangular metal box, A having a continuous bottom the up )er portion of thc walls of sad box being re uced in thickness to form shoulders a, a grid B engaging said shoulders and formino a cover for said` box,

the top of said grid heilig flush with the walls of the box, said grid provided with numerous attenuated perforations, and an oil supply pipe passing through one of thc lateral walls of said box below said grid In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
